Giving Back Their GlowCelebrity makeup artist teaches breast cancer

T H EC A U S E

Tone on tone

“When you look good, you feel good” is a basic truth for most of us. This is the principal many makeup

artists are applying as they share their skills with those suffering from illnesses. For people experiencing a

health crisis the need to look healthy and feel more like themselves can make a big difference in re-

maining positive as they head towards recov-ery. One local makeup artist who is known

for making over his celebrity clientele is also sharing his talent and techniques to teach cancer patients how to retain their glow during and after treatments.

David Nicholas, president of DNI Interna-tional, and David Miranowicz, co-presi-dent, have a lengthy list of celebrity clients that range from Bill Clinton to Sarah Jes-sica Parker, Matt Lauer to local TV news anchorwoman Francis Rivera. In an au-tographed 8-by-10-inch photo of Rivera

that is displayed among many other famous faces at DNI’s new Rowley headquarters, she

writes, “Only you two can make a girl look this fabulous and gorgeous.” And that is the

goal of DNI: to help all clients look marvelous and feel better about themselves.

DNI recently moved its headquarters after 16 years in Boston to a new state-of-the-art studio in Row-

ley at Forest Ridge to be closer to their home in Ips-

wich. They formally lived in Topsfield for eight years and in Georgetown for six. The new location, which was unveiled four months ago, houses not only a full-ser-vice photography studio but also training facilities where students attend in-depth professional classes to learn Nicholas’ techniques.

Nicholas is world renowned for his innovative work in the art and instruction of cosmetic application and

for his pioneering work in the field of reconstructive/corrective makeup. Nicho-las has been equally recog-nized for his philanthropic endeavors.

“When I began in the indus-try I was focused mainly on fashion, glamour and the-ater,” said Nicholas. “Soon I found that the industry was solely focused on youth. I always believed that beauty is found in every person, at every age. And I realized that the techniques I created could benefit those who had been burned or were going through treatments for vari-ous diseases.”

Nicholas began his first corrective skin-care work with burn victims. He was recently honored by the Shriners Burns Hospi-tal in Boston for his 20 years of volunteer work with burn patients. Nicholas works with the patients to learn how to apply makeup to soften the effects of the burns and cre-ate a natural ap-pearance.

“It is unbelievable the positive effect it has on a person’s emotions to feel beautiful again,” said Mi-ranowicz. “They can arrive feeling terrible, but when they put on the makeup it

transforms them and brings back their confidence.”

The face of a cancer patient enduring multiple therapies

to battle his or her disease can go through a variety of challenges. “Patients often come to see me who have a sallow, drained look,” said Nicholas. “Chemotherapy can yellow the skin, they of-ten lose their eye brows and eye lashes, and radiation burns the skin. But with some education we can em-power them to soften the effects of those treatments and they can feel more like themselves again. Which make them feel better.”

The unique line of makeup used for corrective imagery was de-signed by DNI to be gentle for the skin of the patients. It is a us-er-friendly line of products that Nicholas demonstrates at clinics where patients can learn how to apply the makeup so they can do it by themselves at home.The Rowley studio has an entire

wall dedicated to a “brow bar” where customers can try various lashes and brows too. Nicholas stresses that with cancer patients being careful to use comfortable materials that will not hinder the hair’s re-growth is very impor-tant.

“They can’t have anything long

Nicholas can do that too. “We had a client who had little to no eye brow to begin with, and when they lost what lit-tle they had from chemo, I said, now’s your chance! Let’s give you the brow you always wanted,”

Nicholas said with a smile.

General Hospital’s oncol-ogy unit has carried DNI’s cosmetic line for six years now in its Images Boutique in Boston. Kathleen Bazazi, general manager for the Images Boutique, said the partnership they have with DNI has been invaluable for patients of all ages.

“I just watched him trans-form a woman the other day,” Bazazi said. “She was really not feeling that well, but by the time she was fin-ished with David she was feeling better than she had in a long time.”“David is extremely gifted and talented. He also has a warm, caring, gentle side that shows through when he does make up. The way he

can make clients feel amaz-ing is a gift,” Bazazi said. The North Shore’s satellite location of Mass General in Danvers will hold a clinic with DNI for their oncology patients on October 28 from 11:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. “We’ll be donating some make up to the oncology unit and introducing our makeup line to patients un-dergoing chemotherapy and radiation at the North Shore location,” Nicholas said.“We are very excited to be working with them on the North Shore as well.”

“This part of my work is the most rewarding,” Nicholas said. “To see a client take control of a situation which they have very little control of, and feel better again, is a wonderful thing.”

DNI also holds clinics at the Taj Hotel in Boston or by appointments in the Rowley salon. They have also done house calls for patients who aren’t feeling up to mak-ing the trip. A typical ses-sion with Nicholas runs from $250-$350, but the DNI team has never turned down someone if they have an inability to pay that fee. They can work with them on a sliding payment scale.“We’ve also had family members and friends that have given our services as a gift to someone going through treatments,” Mi-ranowicz said.“It’s all about the neutral-izing, softening, toning and enhancements we can teach them,” said Nicholas. “To help them get through in the best way they can.”

”“DAVID IS EXTREMELY GIFTED AND TALENTED. HE ALSO

HAS A WARM, CARING, GENTLE SIDE THAT SHOWS THROUGH WHEN HE DOES MAKE UP.

cleanKEEPING YOUR KIT

Having clean brushes and tools is a crucial responsibility of any make up and beauty practitioner

1Use disposable mascara wands. Never wash mascara wands that come with a mascara tube on your clients. They will not be 100% clean and you will be risking your client’s health.

Put you makeup brushes, tools and applicators into a simple pvc bag, lantern bin when you have used them and keep unused tools separate. Put a red ribbon on anything that you have used.

Wash you brushes after every session, daily. Use an antibacterial washing up liquid under warm water until the water runs clean and leave to dry naturally overnight or in the airing cupboard.

4Use your pencil sharpener before applying any product such as lip and eye pencils and before you replace in your kit.

5Use a sanitizer wipe to clean tools such as tweezers, eye lash curlers, eye lash placer etc. They harbour germs and everyone forgets about these tools. Wipe down your makeup bags, carry cases, mirrors and wash your work towel every session. ■

What is your favorite/most ex-citing aspect about your job?I love the transformation. When you see the actor or model, see themselves completely trans-formed into the character or image they are going to present, to the in that instance their con-fidence soar. I love that! And of course the final result, knowing I was a part of the creation of the final outcome.

Tell a little about yourself per-sonally and if you attended school or you are a self taught makeup artist?

I was allowed to go to beauty school for free…(I know!) I met an Emmy-winning make-up artist, Myke Michaels, right when I was finishing school, and he offered me to work on a movie...and within weeks, I was on location in a real make-up trailer watching him put scars and prosthetics on the actors. And I fell in love with being on set.

Do you think going to school for make-up artistry is im-portant to excel in the busi-ness later on?Yes, for the basics…you need to have a strong foundation to build a career on. If you know the basics, you will soar to the top with your artistic and cre-ative eye. If you are an artist, you can create anything. Many times I’ve been on a shoot thinking, “how am I gonna do this?”, and then I tell myself, “You’re an artist, think of it as sculpting, contouring, shad-ing, painting”.

Did you always wanted to be an artist, or did you stumble upon your talent by chance? Who or what inspired you to become a makeup artist?I always wanted to be in art, I’ve been making movies in

my head since I was about 6. I wanted to be a fashion de-signer, photographer, jewelry maker, director, writer, actor ….. everything involved in creating! I was always doing make-overs on my mom and poor sister. Then in beauty school, I realized I would do 30 make-up application a week, instead of the 30 hair-cuts I was supposed to be do-ing, and they would tell me, to do more hair cuts…..so I’d do more but keep making ev-eryone up! HA HA HA

What surprises you most about working as a makeup artist?How many people don’t no-tice all the details I put into my work, or the difference that make-up can make.

Describe your “Classic Ap-proach to Beauty.” How do you define beauty?Beauty is truly what you radi-ate from the inside. So when someone looks at them-selves, and sees beauty that I just amplified, you can see this happy, sparkling, con-fidence, start bubbling up from inside. I love making people feel beautiful. Some people have been brought to tears just seeing how I added “some dewy sparkly to their already beautiful flower, of a face”……that makes my heart glow.

Start by priming the face with a white base. Kandee used Make Up Forever white face paint. This can be bought on their website or sephora. Be sure to cover your whole face, ears, and eye lids. Set the foundation with a tranlucent pow-der. Kandee mentions that she has used baby powder to set her foundation in the past.

Using a liquid eye shadow, blend the color into the lid and floow with a powder shadow. Under the eye, Kandee blends pink blush un-til it meets the lash line. She then uses white mascara primer to achieve the white lashes of her final look.

In order to achieve the hair Kandee wraped individual strands of hair around a makeup brush and flat ironed on top of it. The result is a random tight curly look as seen above. She then teased her hair to build volume and fin-ished it off with a orange colored spray.

Hair Brows

Next, she adds these bright and over the top brows. By using small orange feathers she was able to build the shape of the look gradually. She glued them on with eye lash glue just below her eye brows. If she were to glue them directly on the brow they could remove her real eyebrows when she removes them.

The hat was made by tying a pair of leggings around a cheap, black hat she bought from a craft store. The card was made simply by drawing 10/8 on a white piece of cardstock paper. She finished off the hat by sticking a cluster of feathers into the elastic leggings. The complet-ed hat was made for less than $20 and all of the materi-als were purchased from Micheals Arts & Craft supply.

The remaining clothing portion of the costume is all made up of pieces Kandee found in her own closet. She is wear-ing an oversized white button up shirt, a pair of light blue leggings tied into a bow, and a black jacket with the colar popped. She explains that the original look was much more colorful, however, she was attempting to make this look for as little money as possible.

And that completes her look! She warns at the end of her tutorial that removing the brows can be very painful. It would be best to wet the brow glue with warm water and soap before attempting to pull the feathers off. Have fun this Halloween with your Mad Hatter look! ■

WALKING DEAD

INSTRUCTIONS1: Hair PrepGather supplies and make sure the area you are working in is protected

from any splatters. “Zombify” hair with lots of conditioner. 2: Texture SkinApply liquid latex to stretch and stipple the skin, dry with a hair dryer

and apply powder.

3: Create rough and rotting skin

Create the look of rotting skin by applying uncooked oatmeal (instant

or regular) over a layer of liquid latex. Smooth edges with a tounge

depresser. Apply face powder and dry with a handheld hair dryer.

4: Create flesh woundsMix one (1) pack of gelatin with 1/3 cup of water (begin with less water

and slowly add more. It may need less) Let the gelatin firm, then cut

into cubes. You will need to liquify the cubes by placing them in the

microwave for intervals of ten seconds. Be sure not to let the cubes boil!

If your cubes boil, you will need to start with a new pack of gelatin.

Add liquid food coloring or light liquid makeup and apply the mixture

to the boney around around the face. the gelatin will turn into the con-

sistency of rubber which allows you to work the material in as it sets

with a tuongue depressor. Pull at the gelatin to create the rough edge of

wounds. Use a black sponge around the edges to build even more tex-

ture.

Continued from page 61

5: Create torn flesh

Paint a layer of liquid latex on the area you wish to infect

and press a small ragged edged piece of faial tissue on top.

Add more liquid latex over the tissue and wrinkle the edges

up to create a look of eaten flesh. Blow it dry with a hand

dryer but be bery careful not to melt the gelatin.

6: Create the look of pale, dead skin

As there are lots of layers of dfferent materials used, you

need to tie everything together by applying liquid latex over

the entire face avoiding the areas with open wounds. Once

the latex is dry, apply face powder. Then to add color, mix a

pale base foundation with a little mineral oil and apply over

face with a sponge.

7: Create depth with color

Bring out the boney structure by applying dark powder or

eye shadow in hallowed out areas of the face. Use green eye

shadow around wounds to give the skin a sickly cast. But

remember, always use matte finishes because nothing gives

away a look more than shimmer!

8: BloodMix corn syrup and red food coloring to create blood (which

can also be purchased at a Halloween specialty shop). Use

an inexpensive paint brush to splatter blood for a realistic

look. Blow dry. ■
